Aboyne

Tucked along the River Dee in the eastern Highlands, Aboyne is a place whose character is shaped by the broad, wooded valley of Royal Deeside and the nearby Cairngorms. The village lies within Cairngorms National Park, where riverside paths and forest tracks connect a settled farming landscape with higher moorland to the west. Aboyne Castle has stood above the village since the 13th century, although much of the present building reflects later rebuilding. Each August, the Aboyne Highland Games bring piping, Highland dancing and traditional athletics to the village green; the event dates from 1867. The Deeside Way follows much of the former railway line through the Dee valley. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms.
